About

The Student SOC

The Cal Poly Pomona Student Security Operations Center (SOC) is a project under the Cyber Security Instructional Research Project (CSIRP) initiative at Cal Poly Pomona, which aims to provide students and faculty with space and resources for research in cybersecurity. The Student SOC and the Student Malware Analysis Lab (MAL) are the first two projects established under the CSIRP and are jointly advised by Dr. Mohammad Husain and Dr. Ron Pike. Substantial involvement by a student in these projects can also lead to academic credits through supervised study or as senior projects in the CS and CIS departments.

The Student SOC and the Student MAL were created with generous support from Northrop Grumman Corporation and are cross-disciplinary initiatives in which students from all backgrounds are highly encouraged to participate.

The Student SOC has three main objectives:

Provide students with cybersecurity training, with a focus on hands-on experience with industry-standard tools.
Promote, conduct, and facilitate on-campus research on topics in cybersecurity.
Provide security monitoring services to the Mitchell C. Hill Student-run Data Center at Cal Poly Pomona.
